Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing your new spotlight. Read
this Instruction Manual and follow the instructions carefully
before using your new Rechargeable Spotlight.
Charging/recharging the spotlight
This unit is shipped in a partially charged state. Charge
unit BEFORE first use using the 240 volt AC charger for
24 hours. Charge after each use. The charge status LED
flashes while charging and lights solid when the unit is fully
charged while using the AC charging method.
Charging/recharging using the 240 volt AC charger
• Make sure the spotlight is off (the trigger lock is in the off
position and the trigger is not depressed).
• Insert the barrel connector of the plug pack charger into
the DC Plug Pack charging socket on the back of the
spotlight. Insert the plug end into a standard 240V ac
power point.
• Charge until the charge status LED lights solid
(approximately 18-24 hours).
Charging/recharging using the 12 volt DC charger
(optional accessory)
• Make sure the spotlight is off (the trigger lock is in the off
position and the trigger is not depressed).
• Plug the double pin tip of the 12 volt DC charger into the
12 volt DC charging port.
• Insert the 12 volt DC plug end into the accessory outlet of
your vehicle or other 12 volt DC power source.
• Charge for approximately 5-7 hours..
Make sure the DC source (jump-starter, battery pack,
vehicle accessory outlet, etc.) is 12 volt DC and is able to
supply at least one half amp at 12 volt DC for 10 hours.
Notes: When using a vehicle’s 12 volt DC accessory outlet
as a charging source, be aware that some vehicles require
you to turn on the ignition to power the accessory outlet.
WARNINGS:
• TO AVOID THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE,
CHARGE UP TO 24 HOURS MAXIMUM USING THE
AC CHARGING METHOD; UP TO 7 HOURS MAXIMUM
USING THE DC CHARGING METHOD.
• NEVER ATTEMPT TO USE THE AC CHARGER AND
DC CHARGING PORT SIMULTANEOUSLY.

the spotlight.
3. To turn the spotlight on, squeeze the trigger.
4. To turn off the spotlight, release the trigger.
Note: The On/Off trigger can be locked in the on position
using the trigger lock switch on the side of the unit.
Operating the unit corded
Plug the double pin tip of the 12 volt DC charger (optional

as a charging source, be aware that some vehicles require
you to turn on the ignition to power the accessory outlet.
IMPORTANT: The spotlight will operate while the 240 volt
AC charger is attached, but will continue to draw power
from the unit’s acid battery and will not continue charging
while the spotlight operates. Manufacturer recommends
only operating the unit in corded mode using the 12 volt
DC charger.
Care and maintenance
All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and
more rapidly at higher temperatures. When the unit is not
in use, we recommend that the battery is charged at least
every 60 days.
